Hi All,


I am new and starting my research on adopting/rescuing a yorkie so I may come back with more questions. Right now I have read that yorkies require a lot of grooming.


I wanted to know how often you take your dog to the groomers? I just did a quick search and the average price in my area is $50-60! Ouch. I did see some listed on craigslist for lower amounts that come to the home.


I like the puppy cut where the hair stays short I think that would be easier for me to manage. I don't mind pulling a comb through the hair as my daily routine as I plan on brushing her teeth every evening as well.


I am nervous about giving a dog a bath and nail clipping since I have never done it before. This has me thinking that I may look at the chihuahua/yorkie mix since they have shorter hair and not as much maintenance.


I would love to hear your opinions on grooming needs and the most economical way to go about doing it.


Thanks
